Definitions

• This invention relates to a manual uncorking device that integrates a cork for bottles with a non-threaded neck, without the aid of a corkscrew.
• Said manual uncorking device is realized by means of cork or another sealing material, which cork or other sealing material is coupled in at least two ways to an internal threaded extractor element, made of a non-metallic composite material.
• Said internal threaded extractor element along with said cork or other sealing material, is screwed inside an open or closed external extractor element of containment, provided with an internal thread whose flat lower part rests as a lever on the flat top of the non-threaded neck of the bottle as it is manually rotated right or left, with respect to said internal threaded extractor element, which is integrally coupled to said cork or other sealing material, and extracts said cork or other sealing material from the neck of the bottle, containing it or expelling it.
• the bottle with a non-threaded neck, for high-quality wine and drinks mainly uses a cork or another material of cylindrical shape pressure-inserted into the neck of the bottle.
• a cork or another material of cylindrical shape pressure-inserted into the neck of the bottle for example on aircrafts, because the current safety and anti-terrorism measures on aircrafts also forbid the staff on duty to use corkscrews, which are therefore banished, because they are very dangerous tools, like cutlery and other metal tools.
• the object of the present invention is a manual uncorking device that integrates a cork for bottles with a non-threaded neck or a cap not of the screw type, without the aid of corkscrews.
• the bottle with a non-threaded neck, for high-quality wine and other drinks mainly uses a cork or another material of cylindrical shape pressure-inserted into the neck of said bottle.
• Known in high-quality wines and drinks is the cork or another material of cylindrical shape that is required because it seems to be an essential element for the organoleptic qualities of the wine.
• D1 represents a cork extraction device that comprises a tubular element having a first open end, a second open end and a peripheral wall having a threaded external surface.
• the tubular element is placed on an upper end of a bottle.
• a cover element presents an upper wall and a perimeter wall that extends downwards from the upper wall.
• the perimeter wall has a threaded internal surface.
• the cover element can be placed over and coupled by screwing to the tubular element when the cover element is rotated in a first direction.
• a corkscrew is elongated and has a first end and a second end. A disc is fastened to the first end.

• [001 0] D2 represents an apparatus for removing a stopper from a bottle by rotating a threaded capsule surrounding the threaded neck of a bottle.
• the capsule is preferably received over a narrowed neck of the bottle to maintain the appearance of a foil wrapped and cork-closed bottle.
• the bottle may be sealed with plugs (natural cork, synthetic cork, moulded plugs), planar seals, or a combination thereof.
• the capsule may engage the stopper directly or by way of a stopper anchor. Aspects of the invention include preventing uncontrolled egress of stoppers from pressurized bottles, the resealing of various forms of bottles after removal of the stopper, locking the closure in place, and providing evidence of tampering.
• D3 represents an apparatus for removing a cork from a bottle in which an anchorage is incorporated in the cork and a cork-pulling sleeve is provided to engage the anchor for the removal of the cork.

• [001 2] D4 represents an invention that relates to a stopper for sealing a bottle, comprising a sealing body and a cap, on which a connecting pin that engages in the sealing body is formed, the sealing body being elastic in comparison to the cap.
• the aim of the invention is to facilitate the reliable sealing of the bottle, even after repeated re-sealing, without degrading the contents, whilst retaining a comparatively simple production method and a high degree of freedom in terms of the selection of materials.
• the cap comprises a mounting for the sealing body with a smaller free cross-section than that of the sealing body. The cap is fixed to the sealing body by means of a non-positive fit between the connecting pin and the surrounding sealing body and a non-positive fit between the mounting and the sealing body.
• [001 3] D5 represents a combination with a bottle plug of an easily penetrable material of an indented permanent cap, entirely incorporating the plug and engaging the mouth of the bottle, and a helical projection not rotatably connected inside the cap and extending from it to engage the plug, therefore the rotation of the cap serves to lift the plug in the neck of the bottle.
